PICS
Make me smile?
Turns out I had NO idea what "busy" really meant...
I've got two jobs now, one in retail and one serving in a restaurant, I'm juggling physical therapy appointments (Remember my accident from last year? I'm finally getting treatment, thanks to my attorney!), AND I've got the Portland Tattoo Expo to plan for, October 7th through the 9th! (Please say you'll come visit me &the other ladies??) Miss Sunshine's coming to town for a bit in October, too, &I'm hoping I'll be able to help her on some PowderPuff Pinups shoots!
The last couple of months have been full of work, work, &more work; a few days in paradise; starting one new job after quitting the one that was sucking the life out of me; a day trip or two with in-town friends; a promotion at job number one; visits from friends from out of town; a brief trek north to sell posters with lil_tuffy; realizing I'm spending money on food &bills faster than I'm making it; starting a second new job; &doctors' visits left &right. See? Whirlwind!
But it's not all chaos! I've managed to cram other good things into my days, including: this song, love from friends, baths (which can never be long enough - I'm in one right now as I type this!), trading photography services for baked goods, love from my dude, making mixes for work (Got any suggestions for upbeat, general-public-appropriate jams?), running into SG members all over the place, trying to squeeze in progress on artsy things, watching birds do crazy shit, &eating cookies for breakfast.
I owe you a LOT of photos. See how many SGs you can spot!
Feeling your love lately, too, even though I've been more absent from the site than I'd like:
A gift from my wishlist! Thanks again, Kirk!
(&speaking of my wishlist, Amazon says I received a Lush giftcard, but I did not! 
If you meant to have an gift card emailed or snail-mailed to me, let me know -- I feel terrible not being able to thank whomever made the purchase!!)
Awesome fan art by sooaap! Do you know which set that booty shot is from? 
&check out even more amazing Lyxzen fan art from other members HERE. You guys seriously never cease to amaze me with your talent!!
Also, a quick shout out to Sidonia, who wrote me a very simple message that just may have been the sweetest, most heartfelt one I've ever received on SG. You are a darling little wonder, &your words &love mean the world to me!
[Edited to add: There's a new set or two from me in the works, but if you're still itching to see me [mostly] naked, Silencia's new set "Doll Harem" went into Member Review a couple days ago! Thing snuck right up on me! Anyways, me &Doxie act as props in this super-sexy, artsy endeavor! Let us know what you think, pleaseplease!]
&while on the subject of feeling loved, I'll leave you with this:

Life these days = a huge whirlwind of hard work, good conversation, far too little sleep, &more love &amazingness than I know what to do with.
Sooooo many more photos to post &words to write! (Remember that one time I went to Hawaii, for example?!) Laterlaterlater, I promise!
I love you all!
I'm still doing my best to get back to all your messages &comments. I'm not very good at keeping up on those...Blame it on my job keeping me stuck in front of a computer all day, &thus wanting to spend as much of my off-time away from screens &monitors as possible! But I'm working on it, I am! I love you guys &all your quips, anecdotes, questions, &general sweetness...&where would I be without things like this:
Wanna know something awesome? We shot this set in something like 15 minutes, to avoid getting caught by mall &department store security! (Pretty sure we sat in the food court braiding my hair &discussing the set longer than we actually spent shooting...Ha!)
Braiding hairs, by Alissa, I think:
Touching boobs, by Frolic:
I really really love behind the scenes photos. Everything from outtakes to photos of a set's preparations to snaps of other girls lurking during the shoot...I love them!
I already can't wait for you guys to see my next few sets...DarrylDarko &I made some serious magic back in April, &then Cherry came to town right after that &got me naked TWO times...I'm losing my mind trying not to post teaser photos!!
Normally my blogs are so positive, &that's a very conscious thing on my part, but anxiety has been taking its toll on me these days. Work is beyond stressful, but I have a couple of opportunities on the horizon, which may pay less, but will keep me from losing my sanity. (Wish me luck on my interviews!!) This Hawaii trip that I've been so amped on the last few months can NOT come soon enough!!
Things that make it all so much easier: rubbing noses with my dude; good, quality hugs from good, quality friends; cuteoverload.com &animalsrunningintoshit.tumblr.com; eating endless amounts of strawberries, nectarines, &grapes; Impossible Project film; chickens; trips to the river, the beach, &the river again; chick-o-sticks; exchanging smiles with strangers as we pass each other; driving in the sunshine; sweating; disco balls; watching my dude turn a lifeless dancefloor into an actual party; good food; Charley's tumblr, Got a Bad Desire; colors; finding beauty everywhere; grass &trees &flowers; Curb Your Enthusiasm marathons; love.
I'm out of words. Here's some more photos of how I've been spending my days:

I have been a busy bee these last few weeks...Summertime means all sorts of awesome stuff: the sun against my skin, hearing birds singing &playing, riding my scooter around town in just a hoodie &jeans, the smell of blackberries on the breeze, making smoothies &eating giant bowls of fruit while sitting on the porch, sleeping with my windows open, barbecues on my patio (&who knew grilled fruit could be so awesome?!)
Also looking forward to: spending more afternoons with Silencia on the balcony of our favorite tea shop &looking down ladies shirts; weekend trips to the beach, the river, or anywhere else; way more barbecues on my patio; Sunday afternoons at the farmers market...
OH, &going to Hawaii in less than a month! (Have you been to Maui? Share your favorite Maui spots with me!) This means I'm kiiind of broke for awhile, so if you've thought about buying a print or a piece of art from me, now would be a great time to help me out! (Here's a link to my little shop!)

Don't forget -- my boobs will be coming to a screen near you tomorrow, July 21st! (It feels like it's been ages, eh?) Keep yr eyes peeled over in member review!

My cup runneth over, dear friends!
Big things are happening for me these days: I'm surrounded by smiles, love, laughter, &beautiful people...I've been planning adventures involving sharks, volcanos, deserts, &makeouts with an especially sexy lady...(There will most definitely be pictures of all of these things, so you've that to look forward to in the coming months!)
Friends have been spoiling me lately, with hangs, sweet gifts (Kirk, your note made me laugh big time!! Thank you!), &amazing art! Life has been so chaotic that I haven't had nearly enough time to spend with everyone...I miss so many of you! (I'm looking at you, atomicant, 1sailor, &many of my Portland ladies!)
&some of my own art, which I've finally put up for sale in my store! (Prints are still for sale, too, of course!)
I'm just trying to keep myself busy &distracted from some of the anxieties &less-than-awesome things in my life. It's one of those weeks, ya know? (This, too, shall pass!) Share your feeling better remedies with me?

Those of you who've lived in or visited Portland, Oregon have a pretty clear advantage, so I want to be impressed! (&for those of you non-Portlanders, yes, there are some repeats, but we have a LOT of bridges here!)
Now, it's no secret that I love Portland. (Did you SEE that set?!) However, my love for San Francisco &the Easy Bay runs almost as deep &hard. This time last week I was there, &I want to go back!! Wouldn't you, if your visits there were as rad as mine?
Aside from that, my life since my last blog has been overflowing with even more awesomeness! (I know, I know, what's new? Ha!) More cats, good times with good friends, some real good sexin', flowers &sweetness from said sexer, planning more trips, ridiculous tattoos, sleeping in, not sleeping in, sweet gifts from lovely friends (thank you Kirk &Neel!), easing back into P90X, eating plenty of cookies, &listening to music like it's the first time, thanks to some new speakers!
Holymoly...I just noticed I have to be awake again for work in about 4 hours! Let me wrap this up with a big juicy thank you to each &every one of you for all of the sweet, silly, &naughty comments left on my newest set...It never ceases to amaze me how amazing my friends are on this site! I already can't wait to submit my next set, hehe!
Go seeee if you haven't already! (Or if you're ready for a second helping, hehe!)
Some behind the scenes trivia &an awesome photo:
&for all my new SG friends, if you've made it this far, let's also be Facebook buddies!
